I was out on a business meeting overnight and i get a message form my wife no internet and the orbi rbr50 had a white flashing light on top. I had her plug directily into my cable modem and internet was on. Came home this morn and reboteed everythinginsequence and could not get it to hook up to the internet. finally i did a factory reset and and goit to come back online and recognized the satellites. I agree thisis a very fast router. but i am quickly losing confidence in reliability. I am current on firmware, but still having lapse in internet. My wife cannot use zoom wireless as it freezes when it drops internet. Hence i was going to set up backhaul this weekend, but now i am considering scrapping the whole system. less than 6 months old and a helluva investment with the orbivoice. I have google wifi on the shelf never had a problem with it when in use. My down load speeds on spectrum hardwired 4-500 mbs, wireless when the orbi is connected 125-135 mbs. any suggestions appreciated beore i throw in the towel gegger
